Therapist will they lose their license if I CTB

[ventingfrustrations]

When I do end it in 30-40 years or so will my therapist lose their license if I made no mention of suicidal ideation or thoughts and only talked about my self harm I might feel a bit bad cause I am good at finding good therapists for me

No , it's not as close of a relationship as you'd think, they are only there to guide you and yada yada, basically unless they encouraged you, nothing will happen to them

I think that depends on if your therapist did their job correctly. If they had a good reason to believe that you were gonna do it and they didnt took measures to prevent you, then maybe they could lose their license. If they went by the book, then theyre gonna be fine.

No? If you never even mentioned it, how are they supposed to know to act on it?

Thanks gives me some peace of mind
I don't want to cost someone who is good at the job their license

 

[StrugglingSienna]

No, absolutely not. They can't save everyone. Nobody would go into the profession if they had that hanging over their heads.

Probably most therapists have had at least one of their patients commit suicide.

I never thought about this before. Thanks for this thread... A few months ago I talked in therapy about suicidal thoughts but I would NEVER want my therapist get into trouble if I ctb.

I don't think it works that way. It's just a job. And therapists have various training protocols, which they all follow. Not something for you to worry about.
